Ultrasone Edition 10 Headphones

Filed under: Gadgets

Ultrasone's Edition 10 Headphones are more stylized than previous models and look slightly retro in appearance thanks to a combination of rich brown Ethiopian sheepskin leather, matte-finished ruthenium, and a touch of luxe Zebrano wood. The Edition 10 is also Ultrasone's first open-back pair of headphones, with the appearance of the openings inspired by the wings of a butterfly. And of course they aim to provide a superior experience not only in terms of style and comfort but also functionality, so the headphones feature the finest interior materials and sound technologies including ULE and S-Logic Plus. $2,750

Ultrasone PRO 900 Headphones Review

Filed under: Gadgets

Nothing like a good pair of luxury headphones to make one's audio player feel it's worth. I find it so sad that form has brutally beaten the wind out of function when it comes to audio these days. People are obsessed with style and size. You can mostly thank Apple for feeding us too many cheap headphones (earphones) with those craptastic white earbuds. I am afraid that the younger generation has no idea what good headphones sound like. Not only that, but traditional "can" headphones are healthier for your ears, as sounds aren't jammed directly into your head.

Those who still want a quality sound experience will likely go with a more tradition set of headphones - of which there are many options. Here are the Ultrasone PRO 900, a higher-end set of headphones from Ultrasone. I am not a dedicated audiophile or sound expert, so I can't comment on qualities such as sound range, etc.. What I can do is give you the low-down from the point of view of a picky person who has had a lot of headphones in their life.

Ultrasone Edition 8 Headphones

Some headphones are pricey because they are covered in glittery doodads but the Edition 8 headphones from Ultrasone are a more understated form of luxe. The headphones use the company's S-Logic Plus technology to deliver a sound that gives the listener a better sense of "spacious tonal perception." The headphones are created for the "audio connoisseur" with tender ears, the interior ear cups are covered in Ethiopian sheepskin which is said to provide the most isolation. The outer ear cups get their shine from a heavy coat of ruthenium. Each pair comes in a leather case for storage and sells for $1,499.
